I've been having baby fever this past week... Two weeks ago though, if you'd have asked me, I would have said that I'm not entirely sure I'd ever want kids! Logic tells me I dont want kids now (I'm only 21! I still want to be selfish!) but for whatever reasons the hormones are going and I feel like I want a baby despite the fact that I know I don't really want one lol Hubby either. We plan on waiting a little while. Before we're 30 at most, and hopefully not until I at least finish school and have a job and have an apartment where there is actually ROOM for a baby. The current place we live in wouldn't even have space for a crib. It's a baby death-trap!

Mr. Bunny and I are trying to stave off the baby fever as long as possible, but occasionally find ourselves having baby lust whenever we see a particularly adorable one. We've agreed that we want to wait a couple years, so whenever one of us starts asking if we can have a baby, the other tries to talk him or her out of it. it's worked well so far, but we haven't even been married a month yet! I just keep saying we'll see how long we can wait.

I have been feeling the baby fever, but I want to wait maybe 3 years. Even though by then I'll be 32, I think I want to have several more baby-free years. Oddly enough, though, I'm almost counting down to starting to try!

I can understand with couples that are older han the norm or are having difficulty conceiving being occupied with babies but as someone who has been there and done that I usually recommemd waiting a bit IF my opinion was sought. Otherwise I keep my mouth shut about such matters.

Babies change your life, no doubt about it. I sometimes get the impression that to SOME couples having a baby is regarded much like getting a new puppy, with little comprehension of the tremendous amount of work involved or the changes to lifestyle. Why not spend a little time enjoying life as a couple before complicating things?

Excellent point @bluespurrs! We have been married a month now and I always thought and talked about starting to "try" next fall, after the 1 yr mark but I am changing my mind but not sure how far I can postpone. I have some medical conditions that might make it much more harder the longer I wait and basically my OBGYN said not to go past 35 for me. I am 29 1/2 now. But after enjoying married life and we are currently building a house and I am in school for the next 18-24 mths, I am worried that trying to conceive in a years time is too much pressure on us. Yes we have been togethor 3 years now, but being married is different, no matter what they say. I want to be settled in our home which is going to take some time and I dont know how well I would handle being pregnant while in school and well we are really just enjoying this time. We will see. I go see my OB in about a month and I will talk to her about how long I can technically wait. So yes while I have baby fever at times, my reality sets in and I think about the consequences.
